Happy 4th! What a fun day...We started out down at Hansen Park for the Elwood Town Celebration...It is such a fun time. Everyone from Elwood comes out for a nice family outing. The favorite thing of the day has to be when the crop duster flies over the park and dumps candy all over the place. The kids scatter like wild fire to get there hands on as much as they can...Mike always does the trap shoot. Some years he comes home with a handful of winnings, this year, he was not so fortunate. Brazen won $50, and Bryson won $5...not to bad. Skylar and Chase usually find Jamie and Jade and head to all the games where they win geeky little prizes but it totally makes their day...As for me, I usually sit back and watch, suffer from swollen eyes and runny nose due to allergies, and hold all the goods..
After Being at the park all morning, we headed down to Ogden to Ronie and Don's house for swimming, a Bar B Que, and fireworks....The kids had so much fun in the pool, and Mike and I enjoyed talking with the grown-ups. Marty and Sarah arrived shortly after we did, and it was so fun to spend the day with everyone....
The night ended with a grand display of fireworks that the guys wrigged up...Jake bought a 45 ft fuse and they sat and attatched fireworks to it for hours. It took four of them to get it to the road. It was a bit slow to get started, but worked its way all the way to the end, and when it was all said and done, it was pretty impressive. Chase plugged her ears the whole time...She hasn't decided she likes the noise yet, and Skylar was right in the middle of it all, lighting off as many as her dad would let her...
And this pic was just too cute not to put on! Cydni made all the kids cute matching t-shirts that glowed in the dark.....Good friends, food and Family...what more can you ask for?!
